It might not seem like much, but this afternoon’s tweet from the official White House account came with a little something extra: the president’s initials. The biggest news to us is that the president might have at last given up on tweeting from the @barackobama account, which belongs to the “nonpolitical” and wholly independent nonprofit Organizing for Action. Perhaps the exposure of the IRS’ crackdown on conservative groups seeking nonprofit status has the president and OFA being a little more careful about public displays of coordination. A retweet will have to settle in this case.
But that’s our concern, not the president’s. He’s choosing to turn his laser-like focus back to climate change, and the White House has released what is essentially a commercial for his speech Tuesday at Georgetown University. It’s a strange move, considering the Senate could certainly use some help forcing immigration reform through next week, but who knows: at least one senator has attempted to inject climate change hysteria into the immigration debate.
Pres Obama just tweeted that "we owe it to our kids to do something about climate change." He posted video: http://t.co/RJz5XKfSFj

Pres Obama says he'll address "the growing threat of climate change" and offer "a national plan to reduce carbon pollution…"

He calls climate change a "serious challenge" and says the nation needs scientists, engineers & workers to help address it.

Americans don’t seem to be thrilled with the administration’s pivot back to global warming, but at least Obama’s thinking of the children, right?
@whitehouse They owe 50k the moment they're born from out debt. Work on lowering that first

@whitehouse The climate that needs change is the lack of trust and the increased divisions amongst among the US citizens. MLK would be sad.

@whitehouse @BarackObama we owe it to our kids to balance the budget, to stop spending money WE DON'T HAVE and to enforce immigration laws

@whitehouse Easy cure for global warming. Get rid of Washington DC hot air!

What about the $17 trillion in debt we are leaving them? "@whitehouse: We owe it to our kids to do something about climate change."

@whitehouse how about #Benghazi, #fastandfurious #irs and #nsa answers first. Then lame duck agenda.

@whitehouse Are you still pushing the phony global warning agenda? We owe to our children to tell them how often you lie
